How can a Bachelor Science graduate succeed so much in the world of photography? Just ask Mark Antman. Antman entered the prestigious New York University to study chemistry and biology to pursue a career in the field of medicine where he had a good interest in. Way before studying in NYU, Antman already had an interest with photography though it was just very slim. While studying for his future medical career, Antman took some of his time to attend photography competitions and he became a part time photographer. Despite having some of his time spent in joining competitions and being a part time worker, Antman still had his focus in finishing his degree. After four years of rigorous studying chemistry and biology, Antman was able to graduate in this difficult course despite not having a hundred percent focus in it.

Right after his graduation, Mark Antman took a different route and worked as a photographer. His interest in this field grew even more due to the competitions that he joined while in college. Antman thought that it is not just anymore a hobby but a calling. When he realized that, he did not waste anytime and worked full time as a photographer. Antman even lived in France to work as documentary journalist for one media organization there. After going back to the States from his long stint in France, Antman together with his friend Alan Carey established The Image Works, one of the best photo studios found in the New York area. The company president of this photo studio became his sole full time job since 1983 (along with Carey until 2001). He has also been accepting several part time gigs in several events.

Mark Antman never got himself involved with the degree he finished in NYU since his graduation. He never practiced what he finished there since his focus was with photography. His studies though did not go to waste since the degree he finished enabled him to be called Dr. Antman. Even though he has no license in it, his colleagues call him as such because of his college degree.

Antman has been very successful in the world of photography. It justifies his choice not to pursue anymore being in the medical field. He knew that his heart already belonged with photography even before graduating. His choice raised some eyebrows before but now, he has given them the reason to believe in him.
